What is the significance of Dua (دُعَاء supplication)?
Dua is ibaadah (worship).
CONDITIONS OF DU’A
For the Du’a
to be answered, there are conditions which have to be fulfilled. Imaam Nawawi رحمه الله mentions in
his book ‘al-Adkhaar’, the characteristics (Adab) that one should have
when making Du’a.
Choosing a time that is considered
noble with Allaah سُبحانه وتعالى. These are times that the Du’as are
answered, e.g. Yawmul Arafah, the last hour of Yawmul Jumu’ah, Mondays and
Thursdays when a person is fasting, the last of the night wherein Allaah سُبحانه وتعالى says that He
descends to the lowest heaven etc.
Choosing a particular state (condition)
that we should be in such as in the position of sujood (prostration), between
the adhaan and the iqamah etc. (We will not be going into these daleel right
now).
The heart at
the time of making Du’a should be soft. If the heart is hard, one cannot
benefit from his Du’a. As we all know, the heart goes through different states.
Sometimes it is gentle and soft and at other times it is hard. One will feel
close to Allaah only if his heart has softness in it, which in turn will
benefit his Du’a.
